just found a download link to some old mixtape by Novokain (Troops Of Doom)

Simply put, if Satan was a DJ, this would be his mixtape. This tape is by far the best mixtape ever to have graced my ears. True speedkore and deathkore here. The mixing here is dead on, with tons of scratching, and great track selection. Last 15 minutes of side 2 are Bezerker tracks. Get this tape and see what the shoddy L.A. promoters are missing out on. New J-card design cause we feel like it. Do not be fooled by imposters!!!

Thanks to the original uploader & the original Necromancer recodings label! great stuff from the late ’90’s, if anyone can help me find the other tapes would be amazing!

old interview as found on Troops of Doom:

Novokain – the best DJ that LA’s never heard of. Representing the GSM and Troops of Doom, Novokain is as hard as they get. Both on the decks and in producing his own tracks, Novokain’s style is a hard pounding bassline littered throughout with distorted guitars, death metal vocals, and just the right amount of evil samples. Oh, and fast as fuck, too!!! Anyone who has listened to any ofNovokain’s tapes be it Gorefest Stench, Hardcore Militia, Shit-Fuck, or Lion’s Den 3 can’t argue that Novokain fucks it up on the decks.

“I first started spinning three and a half years ago at my friend DJ Ellament’shouse, since he was the first person I knew who had tables.” said Novokain when asked when he first started spinning. Even when first starting out, Novokain would try and get his hands on anything that sounded extreme. Novokain elaborates more on the subject… “I started off spinning Rotterdam stuff, since that’s all the record shops would stock, but I would always try to find harder stuff. More noize, more terror… more ‘Umph’!!!”

Every DJ or producer has their share of influences, and Novokain is no exception. On the DJ influence, R.A.W., DJ Efex, Baseck, Mark N, and DJ Ellamentall get high marks from Novokain. For producers, “Well, there’s a shitload. For startes, all the Fisters, especially Netas, Memetic, and Syndicate.”. He goes on to name other producers like Jack Lucifer,Eiterherd, Somatic Responses, “The man” Lasse Steen, Acid Enema, Christoph De Babalon, Newskin, and others that he can’t remember right off the top of his head.

When asked about how Novokain felt on the sudden Dutch and Rotterdam trend, Novokain stated “I don’t remember it getting the fuck out! Rotterdam WAS good ya know.”

What does Novokain see for the future of theGabber/Speedkore Militia, the Troops of Doom, and the Southern California gabber producers that keep popping up more and more by the day? “I see a little scene within us… this is OUR scene. We the makers ‘make’ the scene, and it’ll keep getting bigger and better. More labels will pop up hopefully.”

MARK N. [Bloody Fist, Noisexchange – Australia] New South Wales’ DMC champ will be making his first appearance in the Bay Area EVER. One third of the legendary Nasenbluten, owner of Bloody Fist records, aka Overvcast, scratch DJ supreme; Mark will be bringing it.

TRAFFIK [Disturbance – UK]: Out of self-imposed for only TWO shows, Traffik returns. Traffik has produced so many classic reccords, it’s hard to know where to start. His departure left many a hardcore fan teary-eyed (the last time he played in California was in 2000!), but he has promised to make up for it.

FIEND [Sadistic, Industrial Strength – LA]: Speaking of long absences, Steve Fiend has been MIA from the Bay since 2004 when he headlined the hardcore room at the Otherworld NYE party. Since then, Fiend has been busy putting out records and establishing himself as one of the top hardcore producers in America. In the last two years, he’s put out records in Industrial Strength, Pacemaker and on his label Sadistic.

666GANGSTAZ [Teen Suicide, 5lowershop – SF] futuristic hardcore that hits your head but still forces you to move your feet. His long awaited Teen Suicide record will be dropping for mass consumption at this party. BUY BUY BUY!

IG 88 [Teen Suicide – Oak] Ever since dropping the “Sucka Free Mash Up” track on the first Teen Suicide, people have wondered “who is IG 88?” Well the secret is revealed (in case you were too lazy to look up discogs. com) and IG 88 is actually Victor Vankmen (aka H-Rock) and Teen Suicide’s lazy ass owner rtype. They will be dropping a live set together for the first time ever. Expect LA Dream Team meets Egyptian Lover thrown in a blender with Nasenbluten and Hellfish. Any questions?
